Ever since he instinctively blocked the hidden weapon for her, he understood what he was thinking.

When she struggled to get the secret medicine and gave it to him, it only increased his obsession with her. He decided at that moment that he would never let go in this life, never.

But what made him sad was that she was so smart and outstanding that she attracted not only him, but also Guan Wenyi and Jin Duobao.

That's why he was in a hurry to come back and no longer hid his feelings. She has always been direct, so he might as well be more direct.

When Shen Li woke up, it was already the next morning. She felt the sunlight from the window and estimated that it was around nine o'clock. She held her forehead and felt a slight pain.

When was the last time she got drunk? It seemed like a difficult experiment that no one else could do, but she managed it. In a moment of happiness, she allowed herself to drink too much.

It had been so long that she no longer remembered what it felt like to be drunk.

Yesterday... Shen Li suddenly froze. Yesterday? She flirted with Qin Yu? This...

And what about those things Qin Yu said to her? It shouldn't be her hallucination. Then what did Qin Yu say to her... to her? Shen Li pulled her hair in annoyance. What was going on?

Qin family.

Qin Yueying prepared a table full of dishes: "Yu'er, come and eat. I'm telling you, mom has been studying cooking recently. Come and try it and see if my cooking skills have improved."

Qin Yu sat down at the table and started eating.

Well, maybe cooking requires some talent.

Qin Yueying watched him eat for a long time without any change on his face, so she asked anxiously, "How is it?"

Qin Yu put down his chopsticks, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth: "Not bad."

At this moment, Qin Yueying's mind was no longer on cooking. She just saw that the handkerchief Qin Yu used to wipe his mouth was actually the one Shen Li gave her a long time ago. She remembered that after the handkerchief disappeared, she looked left and right but couldn't find it. So it turned out that he had taken it away.

At that time, had he already had feelings for Shen Li?

"Yu'er, do you really like Ali?"

"Not only do I like her, I cannot live without her." Qin Yu said firmly.

Qin Yueying knew that he liked her, but she didn't expect to hear such words: "What if she doesn't like you?"

"Mom, it doesn't matter what happens to her, but I won't give up."

Qin Yueying knew that Qin Yu was a persistent person. Just like he had always wanted revenge, he had been working hard for this matter all these years. It seemed that there was one more thing now. She only hoped that Shen Li would like him too. Otherwise, with his persistence, they didn't know what would happen in the future.

And she has always treated Shen Li as her daughter. She doesn't want to see the two of them hurting each other.

"Ali is a soft-hearted person, so you should be careful about your approach. I won't ask you what you did in Kyoto, but soon, Ali's family will move to the provincial capital. Is it okay for me to go with them?"

"I was just about to tell you this, Mom. Do you want to go to Kyoto with me?" Qin Yu asked.

"No, I won't. I'll be a burden to you if I go there. Besides, I don't know anyone there, so I won't be as comfortable as I am here."

Qin Yu was not surprised by this answer: "I understand. Kyoto is indeed a dangerous place."

He is still a minor official and has little say. If his mother really goes to Kyoto, he will not be able to guarantee her safety.

Qin Yueying nodded: "I will stay by Ali's side and can help you."

Qin Yu was silent.

Qin Yueying saw that he didn't say anything and guessed that he also agreed with what she said.

"Mom, I have to leave now. I have to get back to Kyoto."

"So urgent?"

"Well, I worked hard to get these few days. Now I can't delay any longer. I have to go back."

"Then aren't you going to say goodbye to Ali?"

"Going right now."

After Qin Yu said goodbye to Qin Yueying, he saw Chen Zheng waiting outside the yard on horseback, so he mounted the horse and went to the outside of Shen Li's house.

At this time, Shen Li was sitting in the yard listlessly in a daze. She was so distracted by Qin Yu that she had no mind to do anything. She had been sitting there in a daze for a long time.

"A Li." Qin Yu shouted while riding on his horse.

Shen Li turned around and saw the culprit who had caused her irritability for the whole morning. She looked at him without saying anything.

Qin Yu said again: "Come here."

Shen Li saw that he was riding on a horse and it seemed that he was about to leave. Some things still needed to be discussed in person, so he walked under his horse.

Qin Yu stretched out his hand: "Take you to a place."

Since he wanted to have a good talk with him, he should find a place. Shen Li directly put his hand on Qin Yu's hand.

Qin Yu exerted force and pulled Shen Li onto the horse, sat in front of him, then pulled the reins and ran out.

Shen Li pulled the saddle hard, afraid that he would fall off, but looking at Qin Yu's arms crossed on both sides, he felt that nothing seemed to be a big deal.

Qin Yu didn't ride far, but went to the high slope where he left the village for the first time, where he could see the whole village.

Chen Zheng did not catch up and waited not far away.

Qin Yu got off the horse first, and then helped Shen Li down from the horse.

Shen Li stood on a high hill and looked in the direction of the village. The scenery was really nice. How come she hadn't noticed this place?

"I'm about to set off back to Kyoto." Qin Yu said as he stood beside her.

"I know."

"Yes, you are so smart, you can guess everything. Do you also know what I am thinking?" Qin Yu looked at her.

Shen Li turned to look at him: "I drank too much yesterday and did something offensive to you. I hope you don't mind."

Seeing that she didn't answer him directly, Qin Yu chuckled and said, "I don't mind. Anyway, didn't you say you wanted me to follow you?"

Shen Li pursed his lips and said with a little embarrassment: "You don't have to remember it so clearly."

"You want to regret it?"

"How can you take drunken words seriously?"

"What if I take it seriously?" Qin Yu moved closer to Shen Li and stared into her eyes.

Shen Li felt more and more stressed. He looked at the face so close to him and said helplessly, "Were you serious about what you said yesterday?"

"Of course. Wasn't it obvious from my performance?" Qin Yu took a step back when he saw that she finally stopped avoiding him.

"To be honest, I only consider you a friend. In my opinion, you have always liked Shen Yanyan. I have never thought that you would have any other thoughts about me." Shen Li knew that if he wanted to not be upset, he should make it clear.

She thought about it for the whole morning and felt that it was impossible for her and Qin Yu to be together. He was the male protagonist in the book and he had an official partner. The current trend had deviated from the plot of the original book, but she didn't know if this was temporary. No one knew what would happen next.

She didn't want to find herself in a dilemma in the future. If the result was bound to get her hurt, she thought it would be better not to start.

Anyway, she treats him...
